Silence, long silence.

Gray was silent, and so was Brutus.

The whole world seemed to fall silent.

"What did they say?"

"What did you hear?

The lich next to him was urging.

"You don't really want to crusade, do you?" asked Lucy.

"No, it's more disgusting than a crusade. I felt like I had heard something terrible. Brutus replied softly. Sticking out his finger bones, he recited a spell and relayed everything he heard to the other lichs.

......

The sea breeze blew softly past Gray.

Gray quietly stared at Jeremi.

"Father, what is he talking to you?" Richie gently took Raglay's hand.

Gray didn't answer.

"And you have a wife and children. Jeremy then whispered, "This is the most appropriate solution, isn't it? No one has anything to lose, and the Holy Spirit will ask the Holy See by command to ensure the safety of your wife and children, and of all those who support you." You don't need to worry about them. And if you refuse this offer, it will be a disaster for them. ”

......

"What the hell is this talking about? Is this a threat?" the lichs began to grit their teeth.

"I think so, this is a naked threat! a shameful threat!"

"Oh, a threat from heaven, we lichs have never been afraid!"

Morka interjected, "What are you talking about?" ”

As a result, all the lichs said to him in unison, "Shut up!"

There was no way, Morka had to honestly cover his mouth with four hands.

......

At the same time, the people who were watching were in a state of confusion.

"What's going on, they're just deadlocking and doing nothing?"

"Maybe we should do something, like prepare to fight back. ”

"But they haven't attacked yet......"

The populace, who had no idea what the conversation between Jeremy and Gray was about, was already talking.

......

In the distance, the human coalition was also in a commotion.

"Why don't you attack yet?"

"Because there is no order yet. Julian replied with a blank face.

"Then why don't you give the order yet?" Li Weidu was angry: "A battle that must be won, why wait? We have been waiting here for three months, and we want to drag it out any longer? A lich, what is there to hesitate about!"

Julie looked at Levi quietly and did not answer.

Helpless, Levi could only sigh, forcibly suppressed his anger, and continued to watch from afar.

The cardinals around him, and even the new pope, twitched slightly from the corners of their eyes.

It was a long, anxiously long wait for them.

......

After a long silence, Gray asked softly, "Did you ask him the same condition, Ebstone?"

Jeremy was stunned for a moment.

"I'm talking about the saint who was burned to death, the one whose portrait is in every bishop's quarters. Did you ask him the same terms?" said Gray, repeating the question.

"The Abstalt thing is not handled by me, I don't know. Maybe. Jeremy replied.

"I want to know what happened to him in the end, the real thing, the ending. Because I feel like you've probably been cheating, cheating everyone, including me. I hate to believe it, but you do make me suspicious. Gray then asked.

Jeremi frowned, helpless, and could only sigh and say, "He was burned to death in the end, indeed dead, and his soul was not accepted by the divine. It's not that we don't want to accept him, it's that he refuses to be accepted. But those who supported him were not directly harmed. ”

"Indirectly?" asked Gray.

"Indirect ......," replied Jérmy, "some have been called heretics and persecuted. This is a regrettable thing. ”

"Is it just a pity?"

Jeremy kept swallowing dryly, and he couldn't be as righteous as he had just been.

Looking at Jelemy, Gray then asked, "What about regrets, have you done anything?"

"I ...... I have a duty to do. ”

"So you didn't do anything, but expressed regret, should we use 'regret' to enforce justice?"

Jeremy didn't answer.

"What is the holy? What is the faith that the Holy Spirit gives us? Can you answer me?"

Jeremy still didn't answer, but there was a hint of wariness in his eyes.

"The Holy Spirit paints a beautiful picture for us in the Bible, but as a result, even that blueprint is fake, right?" Gray continues to ask, "Everything we seek never existed." All of it's just deception, like what you want to do right now......"

"Not exactly, Gray!" Jeremy interrupted Gray in a loud voice, "Even if it is deception, it is well-intentioned, and we are for the good of more people. We are always looking for compromises to benefit more people. Isn't there a saying in human beings that when sacrificing one person can save a hundred people, we have to choose which one person to die. This is the justice of the majority. We are burdened with faults, but we are also defending justice. Justice isn't as simple as you think, you know what I mean? Gray!"

Jeremy's eyes widened.

Gray was still watching him quietly.

The whole world is silent.

......

"What's going on? Are they talking?"

The people in Salted Fish Harbor, even the soldiers on the periphery, and even the people of the Holy See, were all confused.

......

Morka squeezed into the lich and whispered, "What did you say? Can't you tell me?" After all, I have to write. Let me know that I can write better, can't I?"

"Shut up! we're busy!" Simon kicked Morka away with a vicious kick.

......

Stalemate, after a long stalemate, Gray shook his head lightly and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't understand. I don't understand why you would make a simple question so complicated. ”

"The world is inherently complicated, it's not that we ...... it"

Before Jeremy could finish speaking, Gray had already interrupted him and roared: "I don't understand why you think of how to sacrifice one person to save a hundred people, instead of pursuing the person who raised this question! You can even accept a truce with Hell, but you can't face up to the justice of one person! Face up to your own weakness! If there should be someone in this world who is responsible for that person's death, it is the weakness of the righteous side! Because of this weakness, this kind of thing happens again and again! All the fabricated reasons are just to cover up! You are not worthy to be a symbol of justice!"

Yes, roaring, his words, everyone heard.

Everyone was stunned.

Silence, silence for a long time.

Someone whispered, "Do you understand what he's saying?"

"I don't understand. ”

"I understand, it seems that there is a disagreement between the paladins and the angels about justice. Probably so. ”

"I just heard something terrible, a truce between heaven and hell?"

There was a lot of talk.

Abold on the side was still quietly levitating.

Irene's hand had unconsciously touched the long sword at her waist.

......

The fire in Brutus' eyes was burning, and he turned his face sideways to look at the dejected Morca: "Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course!" Morka hurriedly ran over.

"Okay, I'll let you listen. I also think that more people should listen to it. As he spoke, Brutus began to recite new incantations, and gray, undetectable magic began to converge on his body.

While chanting the incantation, he also frantically expanded his perceptual range, looking for "targets" and at the same time, identifying "targets".

......

"Huh. What's going on?" a fat bearded man who was looking up at the Angel Legion was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said, "I seem to hear a voice. Good...... It seems to be the Paladin-sama and the angel......"

"What's the sound? Why didn't I hear it? Hey, I heard it too!"

"I heard it too, it was the voice of the paladin and the angel! ”

Not only the people in Salted Fish Harbor, but even the coalition forces were included in the "target". The coalition forces had already begun to stir from the long wait, but now, they were all quiet. One by one, their eyes widened.

The papal see, on the other hand, was undoubtedly shunned by Brutus.

......

"Gray, I think you'd better not let anyone know what we're negotiating. When Jeremy said this, there were hundreds of thousands of people present, all of whom stretched out their ears, but he knew nothing, and continued to say: "Don't shout like you just did, this is a private conversation. Otherwise, you will ruin this negotiation and, by extension, many people's lives. ”

"How many lives have you ruined?" Gray asked coldly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Didn't I? I thought the faith of the Holy See was distorted, but I didn't expect that the faith of the angels was also distorted. Isn't spreading a false faith ruining someone's life?"

"You don't have a clear picture of the situation! Maybe things are completely different from what you think? You need to know more about the sacred!"

Ignoring Jeremi's arguments, Gray continued, "Or is your justice not suitable for any race other than angels? That's why it's so paradoxical. You have only come to this world to carry out a mission, and it has nothing to do with justice or sanctity, right?"

The whole world fell silent.

Yes, the whole world is silent.

Jeremi's expression froze visibly, and after a moment, he replied a little embarrassed: "I don't think it's appropriate to talk about this issue anymore, let's return to our topic." My advice, how do you think about it? This is the only chance to save you, to save the people who support you. Aren't you responsible? As long as you pretend to be an evil lich and do evil, make them all believe that you have been deceived. Then, we will pretend to crusade against you and take you away. You can continue your life elsewhere and no one will bother you. And the people who support you will also be well protected. This matter has just passed, and it is good for everyone! Isn't such conditions good enough?"

"But I just want an answer!" Gray snarled.

Jeremy's expression froze completely, and he looked like he couldn't laugh or cry.

He didn't know that what he said just now was enough to make everyone present in an uproar. Hundreds of thousands. Whether or not they ever had a sacred faith in their hearts, at this moment, in their hearts, the so-called divine faith has been shattered.

However, after such shocking words, there was no commotion that should have occurred. Everyone's eyes widened, but everyone just waited quietly, stretched out their ears, and listened quietly.

Because they are waiting for a more important answer. An even more terrible answer, which has existed more or less in the doubts of some people for thousands of years, but has never been confirmed.

The wind blew gently, and the whole world seemed to be so quiet that there was not the slightest sound.

Silence, after a long silence, Jeremy replied expressionlessly, "Yes." Now you're satisfied? Here's the answer. Our faith is stronger than you think, and if an angel betrays his faith, then he is bound to fall and become a fallen angel. But you think we did something wrong, but we didn't fall. Why? Because not only the Lich, but also the human race, are not included in the blueprint of the Heavenly Faith. What we do in this world is based solely on our mission to fight hell. The reason why you feel that there are countless holes in the divine faith is that the divine faith as you understand it really did not exist. At least, not in the vast majority of races. Now, do you understand? It's not that there is a hole in your faith, it's that there is a problem with your understanding. Of course, I do not deny that this misunderstanding was intentional on our part. You believe in righteousness, but there is no you in righteousness. In this case, are you going to persevere and make unnecessary sacrifices?"

Silence, silence for a long time.

The wind was blowing gently.

Gray stood silently, only the soul fire flickering slightly.

Richie looked at Jeremy with a blank expression.

Shelley's tears, drop by drop.

Countless people opened their mouths slightly, and their hearts were about to jump out.

Just for a moment, in an instant, many people present were already in tears, and their eyes widened and they stared blankly. Tears flowed silently.

A moment later, a tomato flew out of nowhere, hitting Jelemi's face.

"Cough ......" An old man coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot and fainted to the ground.

"We have believed in righteousness for 10,000 years...... Without us?" the Coalition soldiers held their weapons in their hands, their minds blank.

"So, everything is a lie? So, we're actually the same as the lich?" the middle-aged aunt slowly covered her mouth.

"Liars——! you liars!" a big man cried from the roof of a building not far away.

Like a ripple of spreading, after the silence, the whole world exploded!

Countless debris was thrown into the air and struck at the angel. The soldiers, who had already drawn their bows, shot arrow after arrow.

Jeremy was stunned.

Not just Jeremy, all the angels were stunned!

"What the hell did you do——! Jeremy snarled at Gray.

"I didn't do anything. Gray slowly drew the sword from his waist and whispered, "But I know what I should do now." ”
